Classifieds on PVC!

We’ve been adding a lot of new areas to PVC lately.  We launched Webinars and have two planned for this month; Chris and Trish Meyer on CS5, and Allan Tépper’s Pro Podcasting webinar.  We also launched a PVC Amazon Store where you can buy books from our writers, as well as everything on Amazon.  Why buy through PVC?  Because it’s a way that you can support PVC to continue delivering great, objective editorial content.  In addition, we recently launched our own store selling some great products called CreativeProStore.

Today, we’re starting an experiment for classifieds.  If you’d like to sell your used gear on PVC, head on over to PVC Classifieds.  Right now, there’s only one entry because we just launched.  It’s free to list, free to browse.  Since it’s in beta, please let us know what categories you’d like by replying to comments below.  We’ll get it set right up!

PVC Webinars - First One is Tomorrow!

PVC is focusing on webinars in a big way moving forward.  Having some of the finest writers/technical gurus in the market, webinars are a great way to share information via online training.

Our first webinar is tomorrow with Allan Tépper:  Pristine Web Vide Tuesday June 8, 1pm Eastern.  Register NOW as it’s your last chance!

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to create a single pristine, optimized video file for the web, which is playable both with a Flash player (even on Windows, without QuickTime installed), as well as on an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry multimedia models, and Google/Android phones.
• How to determine the ideal bit rate for any particular video, quickly and easily: You’ll learn both the tool and the technique.
• HTML5, H.264, and Flash: What you need to know about the present and the future.
• When (and when not) to de-interlace your material, and at what step in your workflow.
• Inexpensive software & hardware tools that improve quality and save time when you encode for the web, or various other SD and HD devices.
• Legal and practical reasons why you are sometimes better off using your own web server, rather than certain popular free web streaming services like YouTube and Vimeo.
• Discounts for all attendees on software, and on flat-rate web hosting with unlimited bandwidth.
